maybe Obama can ask the king to take the Gitmo crowd...or at least the king should send troops to tell North Korea thet everyone is tired of their crap.What exactly is the purpose of the visit? Hey, I agree we need good relations with the Saudis...since all-electric cars will never be sold to the general population, we have to keep snding billions of dollare to OPEC, Venezuala, the middle east, etc.etc.
